“This book is rated good for general interest, is excellent for the wealth of Montana history contained within. A fascinating snapshot of civilian life during the war in an area with minimal population yet Montana had the 2nd highest per capita military casualty rate of any state in the union. There are many photos and posters depicted in this edition, stories of rationing and personal anecdotes. It is recommended as good general reading on the subject. The reviewer lives in Montana, is a WWII historian.”
